AIR BAGS, SEAT BELTS
I TOOK OUR HONDA INTO THE HONDA DEALER FOR AN AIRBAG RECALL. THEY CHANGED THE AIRBAG ON OCT 20 2016. AFTER A FEW DAYS THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON. THEY DID A SCAN AND NOW THEY SAY THE SEAT BELT ON THE DRIVER SIDE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. ABOUT $700.00. I AM SEEING THRU GOOGLE SEARCHES THAT THIS SEEMS TO BE AN ONGOING PROBLEM AFTER THE AIRBAG IS REPLACED. AS THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND SEEMS TO BE AN ONGOING HONDA PROBLEM I AM THINKING THEY SHOULD RECTIFY PROBLEM OR INSTALL ORIGINAL AIRBAG BACK TO FIX. AS THIS WAS A CAR ONLY DRIVEN 5 TO 6 MONTHS A YEAR AND THEN STORED FOR THE REST NOW THAT WE WANT TO SELL WE NEED TO GET FIXED

AIR BAGS, STRUCTURE:BODY
TAKATA RECALL DURING A JANUARY SNOWFALL AND FREEZE, I WAS TRAVELING IN THE MIDDLE LANE OF THE HIGHWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 50-60 MILES PER HOUR, WITH THE SPEED OF TRAFFIC. A CAR APPROXIMATELY 7-8 CAR LENGTHS AHEAD OF ME BEGAN TO BREAK AND I DID TOO. I WAS BREAKING WHEN MY CAR BEGAN TO FISHTAIL AND I WAS ABLE TO MAINTAIN CONTROL OF THE CAR FOR 2-3 SECONDS BEFORE HITTING A PATCH OF ICE AND SPINNING INTO THE HIGHWAY CONCRETE MEDIAN. MY CAR DID NOT HIT ANY OTHER VEHICLES BEFORE HITTING THE MEDIAN ON THE DRIVER SIDE FRONT AND HOOD. I ESTIMATE THAT I WAS TRAVELING OVER 40 MILES AN HOUR. THE CAR THEN SPUN AROUND AND HIT THE BACK DRIVERS SIDE AND THEN SPUN AGAIN TO FACING FORWARD. MY CONCERN IS THAT THE AIRBAGS, WHICH WERE REPLACED IN THE TAKATA RECALL A FEW YEARS AGO DID NOT GO OFF. THE CAR WAS CONSIDERED TOTALED AND WAS DONATED.

ON MONDAY, MARCH 11, 2019, THE "AIRBAG WARNING" (RED COLORED) LIGHT THAT DEPICTS A DEPLOYED AIRBAG IN FRONT OF A DRIVER (PASSENGER?) IN A FRONT SEAT, APPEARED AS I WAS DRIVING (AND NOT AT THE TIME I STARTED MY CAR'S ENGINE) ON A PAVED ROAD, NORMAL ROAD CONDITIONS, DRIVING AROUND 40 MPH; I WAS NOT BRAKING OR MAKING SHARP TURNS. MY HONDA MANUAL STATES THAT THIS SYMBOL MEANS THAT EITHER THE AIRBAG(S) OR THE SEATBELT MECHANISM IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. WITH RESPECT TO THE AIRBAG, IT STATES THAT UPON A CAR ACCIDENT, THE AIR BAG MAY NOT PROPERLY WORK; AND THEREFORE, I SHOULD HAVE MY AIRBAG(S) INSPECTED BY A HONDA DEALER AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. I ALSO HAVE SIDE AIRBAGS IN MY CAR. MY SEATBELT SEEMS TO BE WORKING FINE, SO I'M NOT SURE IF/HOW THIS WARNING COULD APPLY TO MY SEATBELT. I HAD THE DRIVER'S SIDE AIRBAG REPLACED I BELIEVE IN 2016 OR 2017; MY PAPERWORK IS IN STORAGE, HOWEVER UPON YOUR REQUEST, I WILL LOCATE THE INFORMATION. I HEARD AND READ TODAY ABOUT THE TAKATA BAG RECALL ON ABOUT 1.2 MILLION HONDA CARS FROM AROUND 2002 TO 2016. I ENTERED MY VIN NUMBER INTO YOUR SYSTEM AND IT DOES NOT INDICATE ANOTHER RECALL ON THE AIRBAG I ALREADY HAD REPLACED; I SEEM TO REMEMBER THAT THE REPLACED AIRBAG I RECEIVED AROUND 2017 WAS NOT A TAKATA, WAS ANOTHER BRAND. PERHAPS THIS WARNING LIGHT IS ABOUT THE PASSENGER'S AIRBAG? NEVERTHELESS, THIS AIRBAG AND SEATBELT WARNING LIGHT DOES CONCERN ME. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR HELP.

WHEN I PURCHASED THE CAR, THE CVT TRANSMISSION SEEMED TO "LAG" OR DELY TO ENGAGE AND ACCELERATE. RECENTLY WHEN AT A LEFT TURN AT AN INTERSECTION, I APPLIED THE ACCELERATOR AND CAR JUDDERED, WAS VIBRATING THE WHOLE CAR, AND ALMOST GOT ME T-BONED. I KNOW THIS IS NOT A SPORTS CAR BUT WOULD LIKE TO DRIVE CONFIDENTLY TO WORK WITHOUT THE WORRY OF GETTING IN AN ACCIDENT. EVERY TIME I ACCELERATE NOW, THE RPM'S RAISE TO 1,500-2,000 RPM BEFORE THE CVT STARTER CLUTCH ENGAGES AND JERKS THE CAR FORWARD. THERE IS ALSO A WHINE COMING FROM THE CVT AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE BECAUSE THE CAR HAS 62,000 MILES CURRENTLY WHICH IS NOT A LOT. I JUST HAD HIGHER STANDARDS AND EXPECTATIONS FROM SUCH A REPUTABLE CAR MANUFACTURER. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND CONSIDERATION LOOKING OVER THIS COMPLAINT AND HOPEFULLY TO HELP ME GET MY CAR SAFELY BACK ON THE ROAD.

AIR BAGS
RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE ON MY 2004 CIVIC STATING THE DRIVER'S AIRBAG INFLATOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. TOOK IT TO THE CLOSET DEALERSHIP. AFTER AN INSPECTION OF THE VEHICLE I WAS TOLD THEY WERE UNABLE TO PERFORM THE RECALL DUE TO AIRBAG BELONGS TO A DIFFERENT YEAR CIVIC AND RECALL IS NOT VALID. WHEN PURCHASING THE USED VEHICLE I WAS NOT INFORMED OF THAT THE AIRBAG HAD BEEN REPLACED. AFTER RECEIVING ANOTHER NOTICE THAT I HAD NOT COMPLETED THE SAFETY RECALL I TOOK IT AGAIN TO THE DEALERSHIP, ALONG WITH THE WRITTEN SAFETY RECALL NOTICE. AGAIN I WAS TOLD MY VEHICLE DID NOT HAVE THE ORIGINAL AIR BAG INSTALLED. I HAVE RECEIVED A THIRD NOTICE ABOUT THE RECALL FROM HONDA AND DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY THE DEALERSHIP DID NOT REPORT THIS INFORMATION ON MY VEHICLE. HOW DO I KNOW THAT THE AIRBAG IN MY VEHICLE IS SAFE?
